I find this whole problem very frustrating. Just recently bought new laptop with latest Intel chipset and support for USB 3.0 only to find out that driver support on Windows 8 is catastrophic.
I own Corsair Voyager GT 3.0 GT and Windows doesn't even recognize drive when I plug it in USB 3.0 port!
I went through hassle to test stick on Windows 7, so I installed it on separate partition and USB 3.0 port and Voyager USB 3.0 worked perfectly with Intel drivers.
I realize I haven't written anything new here but a least want to have my "voice" heard so hopefully someone responsible will more likely react and issue a fix.
